I am considering sending my child to day care soon. She is 6 months old and has had an in home sitter while we have worked since she was 6 weeks. That isn't working out and it looks like the more stable group daycare such as yours may be the answer. My concerns are the cleanliness and the attention that she receives. I want her to get plenty of one on one attention and I don't want her to be sick all the time.

Thanks for the feedback! I work with www.KiddieAcademy.com, a company that provides educational child care across the country, and we are always looking for input on how we can provide parents with even more feedback about what is happening at the academies. Drop-off and pick-up can be hectic times, so the idea of email communication is an excellent one.

I really like most aspects of my kids' current child care. It's called Le Chaperon Rouge (in Ohio) and you can read about it on the Web. The only thing I would like to see improved is the communication between teachers and parents. Because teachers are busy with multiple kids during drop-off and pick-up, I feel they should supplement communication with parents via email, especially if the parents request this.
